The US Joint Forces Command has awarded a $29m contract to a Lockheed Martin team for Valiant Angel, a new system that will apply highly advanced broadcasting technologies to help commanders make correct decisions in the heat of battle.
Under the contract, a team of Lockheed Martin, Harris Corporation and NetApp will design and integrate the advanced video intelligence system, which will help commanders collect, manage, process, exploit and disseminate full-motion video.

Valiant Angel will, when finished, provide commanders with improved access to the vast amount of real-time and archived video collected from manned and unmanned aircraft and ground-based sensors.
Lockheed Martin Spatial Solutions vice-president Dan Rice said it was difficult for troops and analysts to sort through the mountains of available data in search of a specific clip that can help make a decision.
“Valiant Angel will help make video an even more decisive advantage for our forces in virtually any scenario.” Rice said.
